Just received this news information via email on the upcoming Iron Sky movie about Nazis from the moon taking over the earth.

Synopsis
In the last moments of World War II, a secret Nazi space program evaded destruction by fleeing to the Dark Side of the Moon. During 70 years of utter secrecy, the Nazis construct a gigantic space fortress with a massive armada of flying saucers.

When American astronaut James Washington (Christopher Kirby) puts down his Lunar Lander a bit too close to the secret Nazi base, the Moon Führer (Udo Kier) decides the glorious moment of retaking the Earth has arrived sooner than expected. Washington claims the mission is just a publicity stunt for the President of the United States (Stephanie Paul), but what else could the man be but a scout for the imminent attack by Earth forces? The Fourth Reich must act!

Two Nazi officers, ruthless Klaus Adler (Götz Otto) and idealistic Renate Richter (Julia Dietze), travel to Earth to prepare the invasion. In the end when the Moon Nazi UFO armada darkens the skies, ready to strike at the unprepared Earth, every man, woman and nation alike, must re-evaluate their priorities.

To be honest I thought the first trailer was the best. The first one is really dark and mysterious and sort of feels like a big budget Twilight Zone episode of which is one of my favorite shows of all time. From the second one I take it, this movie is leaning more towards a spoof. The Sarah Palin thing from the second trailer doesn't impress me much. I love the sci-fi concept of the movie, but I'd like it better a little less Saturday Night Liveish.

What do you guys think? Is this movie going to be really interesting or what?
